System Changes

Indicate snap will now consider intersection
points if the intersectionof two valid
elements exists within the pick aperture.

Drawing name part fields
(Windows only)

Customers can now define part fields in
drawing names. Commascan be keyed when
keying a drawing name to specify part fieldseparations.
This new function is similar to the existing functionon
the UNIX versions of CADAM Drafting.

Function Key GROUP Changes

/LAYERS/ enhancements

The /LAYERS/ function has been modified to
address some recentlydiscovered
problems. The maximum number of elements that can beput
in any layer is 65533. In previous releases, it was possible toexceed
this limit, which occasionally resulted in model corruption.This
limit is now enforced. If the active layer reaches this limitand
an attempt is made to add an additional element, an errormessage
will be displayed informing the user that a new layer needsto
be created and made active. If a group copy operation is beingperformed
which would cause the limit to be exceeded, layer modeis
automatically deactivated and the elements are copied withoutbeing
put into a layer. Layer mode can also be manually deactivatedby
the user in the /LAYERS/ function. Finally, layer data can becompletely
removed from the model by using the /STRIP LAYER DATA/menu
item. Note that the ability to deactivate layer mode afterit
has been active for a model implies that it is now legal for amodel
with layer data to contain elements that do not belong to alayer.

Instant Trap

Immediately upon entering FK Group, the user
may indicate 2 pointsto form a
rectangle. A temporary group will be formed from allelements
contained in this rectangle. The function is the same asFK
Group -> /TRAP/ -> YN Rectangle -> indicate 2 points -> /TRAP IN/.

Function Key NOTE Change

/CHNG/ across views

Several functions under FK Note /CHNG/ have
been modified to allowelements outside
the current view to be modified.

Function Key SHOW Change

Instant Trap

Immediately upon entering FK Show, the user
may indicate 2 pointsto form a
rectangle. A temporary group will be formed from allelements
contained in this rectangle. The function is the same asFK
Group -> /TRAP/ -> YN Rectangle -> indicate 2 points -> /TRAP IN/.

Function Key SYMBOL Changes

Previous menu remembered

FK Symbol will now remember the previous menu
the user was in whenreturning to FK
Symbol.

Section arrows on arcs

Section arrows may now be placed on arcs.

Enhanced Arrow Positioning

When positioning arrow text, both the
vertical position of the tail and the position of the text can now be
adjusted. If the user indicates along the arrow tail, then the text will
simply be repositioned along the existing tail, with the tail itself being
lengthened or shortened, as necessary. If the indicate is not along the
existing tail, the text is repositioned to the indicate point and the arrow
and tail are recalculated.

Function Key TYPE Change

Line width display

Line weights can now be displayed
interactively by using the /WT-ON/, /WT-OFF/ toggle in FK Type /STYLE1/.

Hardcopy Changes

Window Temp Plot Data
(Windows only)

A new button called "Window TPD"
has been added to the "Plot Current"panel.
Selecting this button will plot the filed image of the currentmodel,
but will use the current window bounds as the temp plot datainstead
of the plot data that is stored with the model.

Temp plot data may now be used regardless of
which host is being used(MVS, VM or
UNIX) for a Remote plot.

Positioning of Plot
Tracking Information

Plot tracking information may now be
optionally positioned inside theplot
area using the NOTELOCOFFSET plot option.

Format Table Conversion
(Windows only)

A new option now exists on the CCD Format Table panel to "Get" (and convert) format
tables from Mainframe CADAM and from CADAM Drafting running on AIX or HP-UX. The option to "Put" (and convert) the
table back to AIX or HP-UX also exists.

EFT Changes

True Ellipse Support

EFT now exports CCD ellipses as AutoCAD
ellipses if the targetAutoCAD release is
set to R13 or R14.

Tolerances and trailing text will be kept as
part of the dimensionelement under more
conditions as a result of this improved mapping.

Improved mapping for
areafill interiors

A more accurate mapping is now provided for
areafill interiorcharacteristics.

CADPROF Change

Modal Corners

There is a new option in CADPROF under
"Drafting Customization"called
"Modal Corners". If this switch is set to "yes", and acorner is being created with a radius, that
radius will take onthe color/type/width
attributes of the elements being cornered if theyare
identical. For example, if two red dashed lines are cornered,the
corner radius will also be red and dashed. If the two elementsbeing
cornered do not have the same color, type, and width, the behavior will be as
it was in previous releases. Setting thisswitch
to "no" (the default setting) will cause the behavior toalways
be as it was in previous releases.

LICENSING Changes

Static Binding for LUM
Clients (Windows only)

A static binding option is now available for
managing LUM licenseson Windows NT
clients. This allows the customer to set up a Concurrentlicensing
environment without having to install and configure LUM oneach
client PC. LUM 4.5.5 must be installed on the license serverand
on one client machine for this option. Older versions of LUM donot
support this option. To set up this environment, configure theserver
and one client PC as you normally would. Once this one client has been configured, copy the "i4ls.ini"file from the c:/Winnt to the c:/Winnt directory
on all other clientmachines. Second,
copy the "ccdnls.dll" from the $CCD_ROOT/licensedirectory
to the $CCD_ROOT/BIN directory on all client machines. (Ifyou
have performed a distributed installation of CCD, this replacementof
"ccdnls.dll" only needs to be performed on the CCD code server. The"i4ls.ini" file must still be
propagated to all client machines, however.)If
you do not yet have LUM 4.5.5 installed, it can be obtained from theIBM
LUM download website at http://www.software.ibm.com/is/lum orin
the LUM folder on the CCD 422 Refresh 1 CDROM.

Automatic License Release

System administrators can now specify that
licenses from idle CCDprocesses be
released automatically. The administrator can specify atime
of 30 minutes or greater on the "System Parameters" panel inCADPROF.
(The default value of "0", specifies that licenses shouldnever
be automatically released.) Any CCD process that has not receiveduser
input in the specified interval will automatically give up it's license.The CCD process will continue to run. If the CCD
process receives userinput after giving
up it's license, it will attempt to check out another license.If
no licenses are available, the user will receive a warning and be given20 attentions in which to save their work.

IUE Change

Support for Raster Burn-in

Raster burn-in is now available through the
IUE interface. This enhancementallows
customers to write IUE applications that will rasterize a CADAMmodel.
